Yeah it can have all those. It is the AVN6620. I got the backup camera, bluetooth, and sirius interface. It can do the ipod thing, but I dont have one of those. On the source screen it has 12 options and two cd changers. Its all new to me but I absolutely love these kind of head units. Also the rest of my system sounds infinitely better than the stocker sounded. It was relatively easy to install too.

Looks great! I went with a Kenwood Excelon DNX7140 in mine with Garmin navigation plug-in with a high resolution infrared camera (eBay).
Did you use an amp for the stock speakers with that head unit? I upgraded my stock speakers but have not yet run an amp, not sure if it's necessary.

1965 Factory Five Spyder GT, the 2nd one built out of 39 total. No top, no windows, no radio, no mufflers. Yeah, it's sweet.

Yeah there is nothing stock left. All speakers have been upgraded, and I converted from 5x7s to 6.5 round speakers for the front doors. I also have two 12s behind my back seat, as for amps, I have a jl 300/4 on the mids and a jl 500/1 on the two 12s with the bass knob mounted back from my mirror switch on the drivers door panel(thats real fun). I recommend an amp, even with stock speakers it will sound much better. Try it!

Excellent! I went with a Pioneer F700BT. A tip; go back into you dash, and inset the unit; then, take the stock radio, and make a cover for the unit.
Out of sight, out of mind.........
Good idea!! Do you have any pics of that mod?
I do have a little gap on the sides that I thought of filling but its not that bad.

How hard was it to put 6.5" round speakers in the door ? Did you cut the door panel and put a grill on them too ?

Thanks
Its very easy because most high end 6.5s have multiple mounting options. The ones I have had a 5x7 to 6.5 mounting plate that fits in the door and does it all for you, then the door panel slides back on like stock.
